When Bishops Teach
|
| After Bishop William Weigand said that pro-abortion Catholic politicians are in jeopardy with their Church, California governor Gray Davis’s office scolded the bishop for “telling the faithful how to practice their faith”—an ironic chastisement, because that is precisely what a bishop is called to do. What if more of them engaged in real-world apologetics? |

The Wounded Heart Forgives
|
| Writing in a recent Catholic journal, an Orthodox Jewish rabbi maintained that hate is a virtue: If a man is wicked to the core, he should be punished and suffer in the punishment, and the proper response of righteous is to rejoice in the wicked man’s fate. Catholicism teaches a much different message. |

The Wacky World of Joseph Smith
|
| Plagiarized holy manuscripts, connivance, the possible fabrication of bogus “golden plates,” superstitious interest in crystal gazing, a number of ill-educated and not very saintly associates—these are the main ingredients in the original Mormon recipe. Is it any wonder that out of all this springs a theology that is not even Christian? |
